How You Could Make an Extra 6-Figures Per Year By Having Your Own Affiliate Program (Paying People Commission To Promote Your Products & Services For You)

As I write this, I currently bring an extra $250,000 in annual recurring revenue – JUST from business that came from my affiliates… (people recommending me).

If I didn’t have any affiliate program, that’s over a quarter of a million bucks a year that I’d be missing out on.

But how do you do it? And how to do affiliate programs work?

What Is the Difference Between BEING an Affiliate, and Having Your Own Affiliate Program?

Ok let’s clear this one up first.

BEING AN AFFILIATE:

This is when you recommend OTHER people’s products, and they pay YOU a commission. Eg, you could become an affiliate for Tekmatix, and Tekmatix will pay you 10% monthly recurring revenue for LIFE for the people you refer. When you are the affiliate, you get paid to promote other people’s things (usually a percentage of the sale).

If you’re interested in getting paid monthly by Tekmatix (some of our affiliates are already earning thousands of dollars a month), you can sign up HERE… and then here’s a video showing you how to do it.

HAVING YOUR OWN AFFILIATE PROGRAM:

This is when you are the person who owns the products or services; and you are paying other people a commission when they successfully refer new customers to you.

This means that having your own affiliate program is like getting an entire army of people to start marketing, promoting and recommending you and your business – and you only pay them when a sale comes through.

It’s free and powerful marketing, and if you reward your affiliates generously, they’ll keep on recommending you.

How Do You Do The Tech For an Affiliate Program?

To have an effective and successful affiliate program, you need a proper affiliate management system to help you manage your affiliates, give them all their unique affiliate links that will track their sales, tracks commission payouts and gives them a dashboard where they can see their earnings.

These affiliate programs on their own are pretty expensive – usually between $97-$297 USD per month depending on your business size.

BUT – Tekmatix all-in-one business platform INCLUDES a full affiliate program management system inside the PRO Plan along with all of the other tonnes of features that you get.

The video below walks you through the entire tech process of setting up your own affiliate program, including:

  • How to create a new affiliate campaign
  • How to select the amount of commission you will pay to your affiliates
  • How to choose tiered payouts if you want a multi-level style of payouts
  • How to add people to your affiliate program
  • How to automate your affiliate management

Want to learn how to make an extra income stream by doing affiliate marketing?

I have a FREE affiliate training course called ’30 Affiliates in 30 days’ that you can join here: https://tekmatix.com/30affiliates30days

Note that this also shows you the next most important part of running a successful affiliate program: TEACH YOUR AFFILIATES HOW TO PROMOTE YOU!!!

This free challenge will both teach you how to do affiliate marketing yourself, but will also show you an advanced way to set your affiliates up for success by teaching them how they can promote your ‘stuff’, and providing them with resources, content, images, email templates etc that they can just copy-paste to start promoting you.

The easier you make it for your affiliates to sell for you, the more money you ALL make.

So click the image below, and join the challenge for the double purpose of learning how to BE an affiliate and how to RUN your own affiliate program:

How Sarah Cordiner Can Help You Scale Your Business with Tech, AI, and Automation

Tech doesn't have to be hard or scary. I help you make it easy to learn, fun to implement, and even better to see the amazing results that you can get with some simple tech tools and strategy.

Here are all of the different ways that I can help you scale your business, streamline your operations, and make your bottom line full of joy using tech, AI, and automation (as well as traditional methods) as your secret weapon.

Sarah's tech stack
The tech I run my businesses on / Updated 2026

One platform. Your whole business. Finally talking to each other.

"What tech do you use, Sarah?" I get asked this every single week. The honest answer? Almost all of it lives in one place: Tekmatix. It's the all-in-one AI business platform I founded, and it runs my websites, funnels, courses, emails, bookings, payments and AI agents. Here's everything it does, who it's for, and the handful of other tools I love.

Sound familiar?

Eight logins. Eight bills. Zero of them talking.

Most business owners I meet are paying for a website here, an email tool there, a booking app, a course platform, a CRM they never open... and then paying someone to glue it all together with duct tape and Zapier.

  • 1Leads fall through the cracks because your forms, inbox and CRM live in different places.
  • 2Every new tool means another login, another bill and another thing to learn.
  • 3You can't see what's actually working because your data is scattered across ten dashboards.

A note from the founder

I didn't build software. I built the toolbox I needed.

Founder and CEO, Tekmatix20+ years in businessPostgraduate qualified educator

After 20+ years in business and more than 280,000 students, I kept seeing the same thing. Brilliant people with brilliant expertise, drowning in tech. Paying for ten tools, using two of them, and spending their evenings on YouTube trying to make them talk to each other.

So I put everything a business needs into one platform, then wrapped it in the thing I know best: education and support. Tekmatix runs my own websites, courses, funnels, emails and AI agents every single day. I wouldn't recommend it if I didn't use it.

Tech stack FAQs.

Still wondering if Tekmatix is right for you? Here are the straight answers.

What is Tekmatix?

Tekmatix is an all-in-one AI business platform. It brings your website, funnels, CRM, email marketing, bookings, payments, courses, memberships, communities, social media scheduling and AI agents together in one connected account, so everything talks to each other.

No. Tekmatix was built for non-techie business owners. You get a free set-up call, 24/7 live chat, three free live training calls every weekday, a help centre, video tutorials and ready-made templates to get started.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. The Starter and Pro plans come with a 7-day free trial. The Max plan starts with a demo, so the team can make sure it's the right fit.

Can I pay in Australian dollars?

Yes. You can pay your subscription in AUD or USD. Usage charges for emails, SMS, calls and AI are pay-as-you-go and always billed in USD. See tekmatix.com/rebilling for rates.

Will my price go up as my list grows?

No. Starter and Pro include unlimited contacts, so your plan price doesn't increase as your business grows. You also get unlimited courses, students and staff users.

Can you move me off my current platforms?

Yes. Tekmatix Teksperts offer fixed-price migration and done-for-you set-up services, or can help you integrate the tools you want to keep. See tekmatix.com/services.
